Re: [GRN] Re: Dutch map ‘stolen from the Portuguese’

Your statement was “Europeans did everything they could to get their hands on the wealth of the Asians.” This blanket condemnation may be politically correct but it is demonstrably incorrect and grossly misleading. With this I will end this conversation. I have neither the time nor the desire to engage into a debate with you.

Vasco (Vasco foi Gamar, as some Portuguese say) attacked ships in the Indian Ocean, killed their crew and looted everything. Do you think the Portuguese were different?  What do you think of the black slaves from Africa taken to the American continent? The Inquisition in Goa? You cannot whitewash the history recorded and archived in France, Venice and Florence (Italy), the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, India, etc. (The verb Gamar in Portuguese means to steal).

But there were other Europeans (Portuguese) who did not do that and some who called to task those who stole (like Vasco da Gama when he was Viceroy of Portuguese India).
